    Hey my man. I love my VDubs I have a few and there a lot of fun. Great choice. Hears some info for fun. So the KO4 swap is probably tuned by APR if so look in the glove box for some paperwork. If you call APR and give them the Vin number they can tell you when it was tuned. What type of tune was put on the car and where it was done at, It usually comes with 3 different tunes Stock, 94 octane, and 104 octane AKA race fuel. This you can switch through the cruise control. The 104 octane. Will bump it from 385hp to over 410hp. You can also add 4-motion to it also known as Audi Quadra drive you can get a Hallex rear wheel drive out of the B6 Passat. Take out the spare wheel well and it bolts right in you have to add a limited slip differential . They also make a Holdax converter that allows you to adjust the power from front wheels to rear wheels. So instead of having a 60-40 split ratio, you can have a 50-50 split ratio. When you launch the car, it’ll be all grab and go. With no spinning. You can also add a lot more power by doing simple upgrades. I recommend boost pipes, upper and lower turbo muffler delete a larger fuel pump and new high tension valve springs. Just those upgrades alone on the 93 octane tune you’ll be to 400 hp. If you’re gonna switch modes a lot, you get APR‘s dongle which can switch on the fly. If you really get into this car, you can build really high horsepower. I’ve seen some guys get 600 to the wheel. You’ll want to pick up a VAGCOM Cable from ECS tuning and use your laptop. It’ll help you to get into computer. On the car for diagnostics, trouble codes, and also other modifications. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I love the car.

    My very first car was a used 2011 mk6 golf with the N/A 5 cyl in the exact same red as your GTI. Even though it had its flaws I loved that car, and I really miss it. But my dream since owning that car is a mk6 R or GTI. You did an Awesome job on yours brother. I probably would mod mine almost exactly as you. I love the OEM+ look. Nothing too crazy but still stands out😍😍😍

    Hey there, I'm new here to the GTI community (new to me '14 mk6 GTI with over 100k miles) - Out of curiosity, I saw you guys help transform cars for subscribers in need, are you still doing promotional stuff like that? If not, anyone you can recommend in the Southeastern US to take my car to (mainly because still poor and dealerships make my wallet cry)
    -->Maybe worth noting: I'm concerned about fixing/replacing engine parts that need TLC before doing cosmetic mods so I'm not even trying to waste anyone's time, just trying not to get taken for a ride by dealership shops because I love my car but I also like making rent on time :D
    Congrats on your dream car - it's beautiful!! Love the video and looking forward to deep diving into your videos!
